Surgical removal of subfoveal choroidal neovascular membranes in high myopia

Abstract: The natural history of subfoveal neovascularization in high myopia is rarely visually restorative. By contrast, surgical excision of the membranes is feasible and may restore visual acuity in selected patients. This therapeutic approach merits a formal multicenter clinical trial.

“…Controversial results were reported in submacular surgery for myopic CNV [132,133,134] ranging from no change [134] to an improvement of 2 lines in 45% of the eyes [132,135]. Two techniques of macular translocation – limited macular translocation and macular translocation with 360-degree (MT360) retinotomy – have been performed in the last decade also with controversial results [136,137,138,139].…”

“…12 O bevacizumab é um anticorpo monoclonal, humanizado, recombinante, 33 desenvolvido para tratamento endovenoso, como adjuvante da quimioterapia, na terapia de neoplasias sólidas metastizadas. Assume particular interesse no tratamento da NVC na miopia, pelos resultados promissores descritos em séries de casos e alguns ensaios clínicos, 1,6,8,11,13,[34][35][36] aliados a um preço significativamente mais baixo quando comparado com o ranibizumab, permitindo deste modo que a terapêutica seja acessível a um maior número de doentes. 10 Verificámos que os agentes antiangiogénicos permitiram uma melhoria significativa e sustentada na MAVC e na EF, até aos 60 meses de tratamento.…”

“…4,13,43 No nosso estudo 69 dos 84 olhos (81,1%) apresentavam lesão subfoveal. No entanto, a localização da lesão não influenciou significativamente a MAVC ou a EF (p = 0,2 e p = 0,8, respetivamente).…”
